Aroy D has great Thai food and is so far the best in Utah with Thai food. It is not the best Thai food I have had in the US though, but some of that comes with location. There are five levels of hotness mild, mild+,medium, medium+, and hot for your dishes and medium is pretty consistent with other proper Thai restaurants. It is located in a small strip mall that is easy to pass if you are not paying close attention while driving.
My wife and I came here as a date night and ordered a calamari appetizer with panang curry for my wife (medium+) and green curry for myself (medium). The calamari had a good Thai sauce with it, but it was only calamari tubes and some crispy pieces. I really wish that they had some of the leg pieces as well, but overall the calamari was pretty good about three stars. We ordered shrimp with both of our curries as we both love seafood and they do a great job with butterflied shrimp cooked perfectly with our curries. The panang curry only had green and red peppers in it, but we learned after our meal that you can request more veggies in your curry. At medium+ it had a nice kick and my wife enjoyed it. My green curry came with green and red peppers, cucumber, and bamboo shoots which all tasted great at the medium level. Taste and spice was close to my favorite Thai place in California. With your meal you get plenty of freshly cooked jasmine rice which was nice to eat your curry with. You get a York peppermint patty at the end of your meal which is nice. I will have to come here again and try other dishes.
This is a great little place with great food cooked my a Thai native. As it is hard to get some of the tropical vegetables here in Utah they do a great job with the ingredients that they have. I would recommend this place to anyone that wants a good Thai dish in the Ogden area. I would put it as a four to four and a half star place to all other Thai places I have eaten at, but for Utah it is a five. Prices are at the high end of this type of establishment, but it is worth it. -

This place is freaking amazing!!!!
Everything I've tried here has been so incredible!! You really can't go wrong! A York Peppermint Patty to end the meal? Awesome.
Easily the best Thai in Utah! -

Had the Yellow Chicken Curry and it was great. I had it medium and usually it comes out mild. This time it was just right where I need a little water but was not too hot. Quick and no pressure service. I enjoyed my time there.

I was craving for thai food so I went to this place a couple of days ago for dinner. Ordered the ginger stir fry with tofu (extreme spicy) and man, it was awesome. Loved the taste and the spice content in the dish. My friend ordered Sweet and Sour Vegetables (not that spicy) and he loved his too. Will definitely go back if am in the area again.

This is one of our favorite places in Ogden. Being from Washington state I have had a lot of oriental food including Thai. They seem to keep pace with what I expect. We have always loved the service. I don't think we have tried anything we have not enjoyed. The flavors are fresh and always seem to find the right balance between textures, aroma, and taste.
With two kids ranging in age of 3 to 0 and now 5 and 2, it has always been such a breeze to bring them there and not worry about finding something for them eat or even unfriendly acts from the staff. They are so kid friendly, making sure our meal comes to match the kids time frame for good restaurant manners. The staff also interact very nicely with our kids. They will make them some origami items to enjoy or even try to play with our kids. This alone is enough to get us to want to come back again. -
Review from Nicole P.
After 4 dinner visits and 2 lunch visits, my first impression still stands. Best Thai food I've ever had. Lunch is an awesome deal. 2 entrees, soup or salad, steamed rice and an eggroll for $7.50. Dinners start around $10 with a deal on Mondays and Tuesdays that 2 people can eat for $25. Appetizer, full entree each and a dessert. Service has consistently been top notch. It doesn't matter what I order, its ALWAYS good. I've tried everything from fried rice to stir fries and curries. Pineapple curry is still my go to favorite, but massaman curry is a close second. As well as the ginger stir fry and basil stir fry.

Aroy D Thai Cuisine is a gem of a restaurant. The Thai food equals and the best Thai food I have had from NYC to San Francisco.
Now, I have only eaten here once but our table of four ordered 2 appetizers and 6 entrees. Some of use ordered a few Thai standards and we also ordered both entrees from the Specials board. The quality of the ingredients is first rate and their is a full range of flavors in every dish. Every dish made us smile and say, "I can not believe this place is not packed." and "I wish they had opened a restaurant in our town."
We had: Pork Larb Na, Drunken Noodles, Panang Curry, Pumpkin Curry, Dar'ken Noodles, Calamari, and Papaya Salad.
The owner is a Thai woman who is also the chef. It is a family affair here. The husband helps run the front of the house with the daughter. The inside of the restaurant is tastefully decorated and clean. There is a little gas fireplace in the corner and a TV that was thankfully turned off.
The location is a little hard to find. Do not be turned off by the location. It is tucked into a little retail space with a check cashing service, rent to own center as neighbors. It is very close to the I-15 exit and a group of hotels and gas stations.
Ogden locals, I-15 overnighters, and outdoors folks please come and eat here and make sure Aroy D Thai becomes an Ogden success story! -

My husband claimed that he was not a fan of Thai food, after a bad experience one time. At Aroy D his mind was quickly changed!
We have been to eat a couple of times since our first visit and each time is as great. The service is great (even though we have been the only ones in the restaurant). The owner and waitresses are quick to answer any questions that you might have or offer suggestions. I am a big fan of the pad see ew and the ginger stir-fry. -

I would consider myself somewhat of a Thai connoisseur. I've had just about every restaurant there is to enjoy in SLC. Aroy-D was given to me on a recommendation from friends. Living in Salt Lake it took a little pushing and prodding to get me to take a trip to Ogden, but am I really glad I did.
I had yellow curry that was Med+ in temperature. Not too overbearing with the spice and the food was served at the perfect temp!
Great tasting food, prices are right, and service is even better! -

Best Thai food in Utah so far!
The service was excellent. The restaurant was very nicely decorated.
Had the Pad Woon Sen. Very tasty and the veggies were still crunchy with minimal oiliness to the noodles.
Can't wait to go back! -

Review from vikster n.

Had we not been told that this place existed, I doubt we'd ever have eaten here. Down the end of 12th St is not a place we usually drive by looking for great restaurants!
Very nice owners, quick and pleasant service and very tasty food. The portions are big, so if you eat like a bird (like me) you'll have plenty for lunch the next day.
The Mango Sticky Rice was something I'd never tried before and was excruciatingly yummy. I probably would have asked for more had we not been running out the door to pick hubby up from class.
The menu is very extensive and affordable, and now we know it's there, we'll definitely be back for more. -

I love this place. it is about time we have some decent Thai food in Ogden. The owner is highly involved and you can tell he really cares about what he is doing. I have tried quite a few things on the menu and have not had a bad meal yet.
I really like the Tom Kha Gi as well as the spring beef salad. The spice level while perfect for me was a little to hot for my wife. I would say if you are sensitive to spicy food you will want to tell the 1 or maybe two. That being said my wife is in love the pineapple fried rice. She is still talking about how good it is. You must try the mango dessert. It is delish.
It is a little pricey for the amount of food you get, but all in all the most solid choice for Thai in the Ogden area. They have some great prices for lunch that you may want to consider if you can swing it. -

As a lover of Asian food in General, and someone who has spent a fair amount of time in Thailand, I give this little unexpected suprise a 5-STAR+++++++++++++.
It's located a little off the beaten path, but that doesn't really matter - it's as if you've just stepped into a restaurant on the river in Bangkok.
The Food: We tried 6 different dishes - mostly the usual suspects, as we had some Thai food first-timers in our group. The Coconut soup had one response from everyone, "WOW". The green curry was as fresh and flavorful as I've ever had, and even in the carb-fearing world we live in, the Pad Thai was everyone's favorite. In Short: It was outstanding.
The Service: This is a small, family owned operation - and they CARE about your experience. They were friendly, fast, and didn't get in the way at all.
Overall: This is a MUST TRY if you are a Thai food lover, or if you've never tried it. Go in there, and ask for their house specialties, and be amazed. This is my new #1 Thai food place. Anywhere. And it's in Ogden of all places... -

This place was actually a present surprise. I was a little nervous, but was very happy with my choice. We called ahead to ask if we needed reservations for 10 people. They said we didn't need reservations, but that they would set aside a table for us. We went on a Tuesday night, and it was packed. The food was the best Thai I've every had. The owner came to our table and checked on us. He mentioned his wife was Thai and that she owned a Thai restaurant in Bangkok. He also mentioned she taught cooking classes in Thailand. I am excited to go back soon.
I had the Pineapple Thai Fried Rice Mild. It was the best Thai fried rice I've ever had. Everyone wanted a taste off my plate. -

I never thought I would ever find great Thai food close to home (Logan) - and even though it's an hour away, I'll take it!
I was a little worried when we came in - it was empty inside. But my worries went away once I tasted the green curry. It tasted just like the green curries I always had back in the Chicago area. It had the right blend of spices, it wasn't too spicy (just the right amount, where it lingers on the tip of your tongue after you finish), and they included a good amount of chicken and vegetables. I also tried a bit of the pad see ewe, which was a little sweet for my taste, but my fiance said it was very good.
The service was also very good, but of course, we were the only ones in the whole restaurant. They also included a York peppermint patty at the end of the meal, which is my favorite after dinner mint. Overall, a great experience. I would give them 4.5. I only mark off a star because the bowl they used to serve the rice seemed like they just heated left over rice (it didn't look like it was pulled from a rice cooker and put in a bowl).
I will have to come again to try out more of their curries. -

I guess I need to give this place another shot. I was deeply disappointed in my lunch combination of massaman curry and yellow curry. I did appreciate the way the tofu was prepared but I.was up sick all night.
I liked the decor. So much better than our other Thai restaurants in Ogden. I still prefer Bangkok Garden's food. But it's nice to have another option now that Thai Monk Gol has closed down. I'll give it another tryComment from Raphassa S. of Aroy D Thai Cuisine 6/24/2011

It's the evening of a Friday that has stretched itself much too thin. You're in Ogden, you've had a cocktail or two, your kitchen is a non-existent shell with contractor's tools strewn about it.
Dinner is a chore, a challenge, a cause for gentle weeping.
By some mercy of the gods of laziness and snackery, you come across a listing for the quirkily named Aroy-D Thai. It's new, like 5 months new. It's out on 12th street in the Og, just off I-15. It's an unknown in a region tragically known for the absence of decent Thai food. It is--in fact--a miracle. I live in fear that I've only imagined it like a coconut milk mirage.
Gentle fish sauce lovers, I tell you now to go forth and bathe in the healing broth of this savory oasis.
Despite the strip mall location, it's a very nice space. The husband was our server in this clearly family affair. We ordered just a few items from our favorite basic categories, deferring to his more specific recommendations (which simply reflect his wife's [the chef] regional expertise).
I ordered a lime thai iced tea, a variation I've not seen at other Thai places. It comes without dairy and lots of lime and is really good.
We ordered tofu massaman. All the way to great. The tofu itself was notably awesome as it was actually prepared, not just flung in as a meaty afterthought.
The beef salad, chef's style. Comes with sticky rice and the owner's appreciation when you eat it properly with your hands. Outstanding.
Drunken noodles. At first, I feared this would be the weak link, since it didn't seem especially sauced. My mistake was assuming, from other experiences elsewhere, that pad kee mao can't be light, bright, and still full of flavor. Loved it.
Also, tom yum. Delicious sweet and sour broth that cries out for seafood.
I've eaten at most Thai places along the Wasatch front, and (while I know a single meal is a very limited sample and that there is an emotional context to my experience) I place Aroy-D at the top.
I will eat through their entire menu. I will even try their pad thai. I will single-handedly keep them in business if need be. I will worship whichever gods they desire, since they are clearly benevolent deities of tastiness. -

solid 3 stars, we came here for lunch, had red curry, sweet and sour chiken stir fry, massaman curry. first of all, all the dish was cold/luke warm which we would prefer to be warmer. The sweet and sour chicken was eh, because it is not warm and it came with a lot of sauce, it is more like a chiken/vegie in a sweet/sour dipping sauce vs. stir fry. the red curry is way to thin to be curry, we felt like it is on the border between the soup and the curry. and the massaman is the best dish of the day. it has very simular taste to the red curry but it is thicker, and more flavor. One thing that we are not that big fan of is the chiken they put in, it was favorless and taste all the same --- no taste to it, i felt like they use the chicken they cooked in the soup and put it in the curry. Overall, It was OK, we will try to come back to try some other dishs. I have heard their drunken noodle is good.

I have only eaten here twice for lunch, as a result I have tried but a few items from the menu. However, very impressed with the noodle soup (very similar to pho), and the pork Pad Thai, was easily some of the best PT we have ever had. Ignore the location, yet enjoy the view of beautiful Ben Lomond peak.

I stopped in for some chicken Pad Thai while waiting for a cab, and was very impressed. The staff was very nice and accommodating by quickly changing my order from dine in to take out, and I found the prices very reasonable for a Thai restaurant. Their take on Pad Thai surprised me because I've never had it spicy before, and with a nice hint of garlic to boot. Savory, delicious, I could have ordered seconds. The portion was a generous size and I look forward to going back for some spring rolls when I'm in town again on business.

This place is very good! The food was GREAT! Dont forget to try the Mango Sticky Rice Dessert! It may very well be the best dessert ever! The service was fabulous and everyone was very nice. Dishes are reasonably priced and the portions are large, enough for another meal later. We will definitely be coming back many times! Thank you!
